The Eilat-Eilot Renewable Energy Initiative, (http:www.renewable-energy-eilat.org) has been promoting Renewable Energy as a catalyst for regional development and a model for energy independence for the last 4 years. With a vision to develop Israel's sun drenched desert and Red Sea resort region, its early pioneers established the Eilat-Eilot Renewable Energy Initiative to spearhead the implementation of Israel's and the worlds first energy independent region. The Eilat-Eilot Alternative Energy Project was initiated to demonstrate a model for solving the world's energy crisis by incorporating and encoraging all of the contributing social sectors and technologies and to concentrate on a goal that would create an energy independent region energized by vibrant substantial regional commercial development and business opportunities.
